Key Points

To examine the relationship between adherence to the Chinese-modified MIND diet and muscle mass and physical performance in older adults in China.
Analyzed data from the CLHLS 2018 national survey
Assessed dietary habits using cMIND diet guidelines
Evaluated muscle mass and physical performance metrics
Higher adherence to the cMIND diet was linked to lower probabilities of low muscle mass (LMM)
Better physical performance scores were associated with greater adherence to the cMIND diet

Implication

Observational study shows positive effects of cMIND diet on muscle mass and physical performance in older adults, suggesting health benefits.

Abstract

Greater adherence to the cMIND dietary pattern is independently associated with lower probability of LMM and better physical performance among older Chinese adults. These findings suggest potential benefits of promoting MIND diet principles for maintaining musculoskeletal health in aging populations.
